HSR outside the combat system is exactly like GI and no, they dont ... because they dont need to, after all when you are making every month several dozen millions and nobody is outperforming you what is the point? Its like FGO that despite showing its age havent really changed it.

Illusion was around for a long, long time and I dont know when people started but the first game I knew of then was ... I think Des Blood way back when I read Something Awful, their first game with real customization was what? Artificial Girl 2 maybe? hell I really liked Sexy Beach that was pretty much a DOAX knockoff with no volleyball but instead massages and with girls from their game and if you want to talk about "recycles", Koikatsu and Honey Select (AI Girl too) origins are Artificial Girl 2 as see the amount of titles that are evolutionary to reach that point. Yes, features get added and dropped and there is a world of diference of Schootmate and Koikatsu.
And yes, if the games do well they do add-on disks that is pretty standard but not like COM2 that entirely build on selling small DLC packs, its strikes as odd for me when people go about their DLC as looking at that list there are only few titles with add-on discs since most of the times sales dont justify creating them that is, once again, pretty standard as Majikoi wasnt designed with the intent of having what? lets see ... the 5 character disks and the one expansion disk?
BTW what trigged me was mihoyo because fucking hell, they just market their games very well as they are just mediocre with a lot of shitty design (lets drop the skip button because everyone must read our terrible writting so they spend all their money to get our recycled ... sorry, "homage" character we keep using because mihoyoverse) ... Jesus ...
